You got me there! We shouldn't have a triumvirate, so we'll have to
add a fourth... I'll see if one of the new Consuls is interested...

Seriously, though, the ability and the choice to create Senators
was soley that of the then-current Censores. They didn't have to involve
me (the future Censor), but consented to listen to my contribution.

Right. He voluntarily withdrew it when we began talking about a deeper
reform, that would have required Constitutional changes - and was thus
subject to Consular veto. After that was dead, the Tribunes discussed
reviving the original proposal, but by then there was a Censores'
edict with the same result.

[regarding the alteration of censores' power]

A modified version of it could have been presented for a vote, if it
appeared to be widely supported in the Senate. But there didn't seem
to be much interest in reviving it.

There's more to consider than my personal anger, although that certainly
was a part of it. The dignity of the office of Consul was at stake -
one Consul had pulled a "bait and switch" on the other. If I had let it
go by without objecting in the strongest manner possible, I'd have given
him the keys to the kingdom, and myself been ineffectual for the rest
of the year.

No, I vetoed it for three reasons: I was angry at the deception; the
proposal was a bad idea; and the integrity of the Consulship had been
violated. The first of these by itself shouldn't merit a veto but the
others certainly did.

Vale, Octavius.

Marcus Octavius Germanicus, Censor
Group: Nova-Roma Message: 6870 From: qfabiusmaxmi@aol.com Date: 2003-01-06
Subject: Senators. Censors and comfirmation...
Right now Marcus Octavius, you are in a poor position to debate this subject
since you are a Censor. So you are biased. If we wish to have the censors
appoint our Senators to the Senate without the Senate having a say, it
defeats the spirit of old Rome since this never happened.
We have examples in Livius showing what happened to Censors that over stepped
their bounds. They were impeached and removed by the Senate. If the Senate
was powerless how could they do this?
Censors were not the highest magistracy in Rome. Dictators and Consuls were.
Polybios in our only example of a constitution does not even mention them in
his discourse about the Roman constitution in 160 BC, yet we know they
existed through Livius and Dionysios of Halicarnassus writings from the
earlier periods.
If they were so powerful why don't they have lictors? The one symbol of
Roman importance
of authority and control and they don't have them. So they have no imperium.
Cornelius Sulla during his dictatorship removed them, indicating that they
were rather unnecessary by this time.
It would appear originally this was an honorary position bestowed on a
deserving ex Consul, but controlled by the Consuls and Senate. We aren't
even sure when it became an elected office. It is certain however, based on
the historical record the current censorship bears little resemblence to the
one that were are to be emulating.
I do hope that the current Consulship will allow the Senate to vote and
confirm our new Senators, so appearances, going back five years to the first
Senate appointments, will be maintained.

The Senate does have a say. It does not have the *final* say; but the
only persons the Censores can appoint without the Senate's consent are
the Curule Aediles. All other candidates were first given Propraetorship
or a special S.C. by the Senate.

The Consuls may impeach the Censores now by convening the Comitia Centuriata.
Even if the Senate is packed with obedient lackeys by these Censores, they
cannot stop the Consuls from calling the Comitia.

Right. They cannot compel citizens to follow their orders, nor command an
army, or convene the Senate. The nature of their power is different.

Subject: Truth, Lies, Consular Authority and Ethics
Avete Omnes,

Once again the animosity between my former colleague and myself has been brought into the ML, oh to have the type of relationship that my first colleague and I enjoy, but such is life and I will just have to live with the burden.

Since this conversation began, I have not responded to Censor M. Octavius's baiting and accusations because most of his arguments are specious, inflammatory, and designed slander to my dignitas. However, as he continues his vendetta there are two things I would like to state.

First, its a saying that I have heard before and used against his good friend Senator Audens once before on the ML. That saying is, "People in glass houses should not throw stones."

Second, my only word on this subject of the Lex Cornelia Senatoria is this: I wrote the legislation in good faith for presentation and promulgation in the Comitia. I felt that the law was necessary to protect the Board of Directors (Senate) from additional political machinations and motivations. This would have been accomplished by giving the Senate more input on the removal of Senators. That you vetoed it, for whatever reason, was legal and I accepted it. But, I did not deceive you at all. I had full right as Consul of Nova Roma to write the law as I felt was needed. Your and my discussion that occurred on June 14 was fully implemented into the text. On June 18th after discussion with my staff the law was increased to include sections IV, and V. I did not have an obligation to get your approval to promulgate the law, any more than you needed to get my approval to try to promulgate the Gens reform.

Please Censor, be careful of the accusations you throw down, in your attempt to damage my reputation that accusations are not tossed back at you for ethical improprities. I do not think that you or I would want to create another political argument/crises so early in this new year. So, for the benefit of Nova Roma, I ask you publicly to cease and desist.

Vale,

Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix

Certainly I can see the thinking behind your argument,
and it makes a lot of sense. As I've said before, I
would be quite content to do without these points. In
fact when last I looked at my profile, a few days ago,
I hadn't been given them anyway.

I was merely attempting to point out that if we were
all full-blown republican Roman aristocrats, we'd be
fighting tooth and nail for any and all rewards and
recognition we could get, and so to imply that to be
proper Romans we should all be serving the state
without hope of reward is perhaps a less productive
line of argument than the one you take above. Humility
only became a virtue under the Principate, or shortly
before, when Caesar refused the crown. There's a very
interesting article relating to this, I think in JRS,
but as I'm away from home at the moment I can't give
the reference. I'll post it when I get back.

It was not I who resurrected the subject of last year's vetoes; it was
a member of your gens and your political faction who brought them up
for no apparent reason, even though they had no relevance to the
ongoing debate.

When attacked here, I must defend myself, and I will do so by telling
the truth.

Meanwhile, I was asking repeatedly to see it, and you repeatedly refused.
You imagined yourself to be Consul without colleague; you chose to go
around me rather than cooperate. Our relations had been good up to that
point.

You knew that this was a subject that I was deeply concerned with, for
we had spent an entire day negotiating what was to have been the proposed
Lex Cornelia Senatoria. After we had come to an agreement (or so I
thought, for I did not know you were acting in bad faith at that time)
you ignored my repeated requests to see the final text; then called for
a Contio with a proposal that contained considerably more than what we
had agreed upon.

Did you *really* think you could get away with it? After we had spent
an entire day negotiating just how much the Censores powers could be
altered, did you really think that I would sit idly by while you went
far beyond what we had agreed upon?

Did you really think that I wouldn't object to your ham-handed attempts
to disempower the Censores?

You were not acting in "good faith". By attempting to get around me,
by withholding information in spite of repeated requests, you declared
war on your fellow consul, without provocation, and I responded
appropriately.

Vale, Octavius.

Sounds like an excellent idea to me!

< didn't even know about the main website.
That's a real shame, considering that we have an excellent website.

And as far as the discussions on this list (which a few different people
commented on):
I think that the political discussions have to be here, since this mainlist
contains the most citizens. I always encourage people to use their delete
button if they find the political discussions boring! To me, the 'problem'
with the political discussions is not that they become 'heated' but that
newcomers don't know who is who, what or whom a political discussion is
referring to, the duties of the magistrates & appointed assistants, or even
why a certain political discussion is important to Nova Roma in the first
place. It's just a matter of newcomers getting to know Nova Roma, it's
citizens and how things work. But this is just my opinion :-)

What I would like to EVENTUALLY put together is a 'Newcomer's Guide to Nova
Roma', VERY QUICKLY defining in SIMPLE words, the following:
1) a description of Latin terms used
2) The government of Nova Roma with a quick description of the various
positions held and who is currently in office.
3) information on the religio, describing the function of the Priesthood/who
is who/who does what
4) a very quick description of what each law refers to
5) the links to where new citizens can find detailed information on all of
the above
6) the links to where new citizens can find the various laws, the
constitution, a listing of all the various subject specific mailing lists,
who to email for what, and the other NR related websites
7) and last but not least, promotion for the Eagle!

All of the above information can be found on the website in detail, but my
idea is to have the entire thing be just a few pages in Word, or on long
webpage, so that new citizens can see immediately what info is available to
them, so that they don't have to search for it.

Anyway, that was just my idea to help new citizens get orientated quickly !

Well the pendulum has shifted more than once in Nova Roma. There is nothing to prevent it from shifting again. And, if they left NR originally because they didn't like NR then..there is the distinct possibility that in the future they wont like it again.

Unfortunately, this is not the level of citizen we should be attracting in the first place. I am referring to those individuals who view NR as a game and not as a committment.

Every now and then, the topic of the Societas Via Romana (SVR) comes up on this list, and every time again, absurd things are being told about that organisation, mainly by people who don't know the first thing about it and its history. Please be so kind as to allow me to explain a thing or two here.

SVR was born in May 2001 after two very distressing episodes here in NR. In March, a few prominent members and their friends had left NR, disheartened by the continuous attacks of their enemies and disappointed in the cultural level of it (most of the people who left were capable, intelligent and competent persons; four senators among them!). In May a similar thing occurred on much smaller basis, after a few laws were voted in which the opposition was decidedly against. If you lose, and you keep losing, and your enemies are doing everything they can to destroy you and your reputation by the most absurd "arguments", you have to draw conclusions from that (note that I myself don't claim innocence, either). And so, we did.

Here the first myth about SVR comes in, that it was designed by all discontented members who left in March or May 2001 as a means to "get back at" Nova Roma or do "have things our way". Fact is that of those who left in March, only three people have joined us and they were not among our founders. SVR was founded by Lucius Silvanius Florus (in NR known as the infamous Formosanus) and Gnaeus Dionysius Scorpio (me). Nowhere have we stated that we were bent on the destruction of NR (although we have always been accused of such by our enemies, who appearently could not grasp the concept of critical opposition). In fact, Florus left SVR in January 2002 after a long discussion about Nova Roma. He wanted to officially declara NR "an abomination" which all of the other people in our Senate found absurd and dangerous.

Also think of the following: if we would only be interested in political roleplay "our way", why would we still be out there, still producing essays, discussing topics and gaining members? Agreed that we are smaller than NR in size, but so what? There have been in the past several "splinter groups" that grew out of citizens' discontentment, but most of them were still-born or imploded once it became clear that politics, and not culture or history, was what bound these people. A part from that, there are enough differences between SVR and NR to speak of two entirely different organisations. Although we are fishing in the same pond, a closer look at our regulations and our goals will show our differences to anyone.

Time to demistify a new myth that has just been launched here: that people who left NR in order to join SVR have "crept" back in "under different names" now that their "enemies" are not in pivotal positions anymore. That's simply absurd. Tiberius Apollonius Cicatrix and I have always been here (if you don't count my short-lived resignation of six days), and the rest of SVR's leadership has never returned here. In fact, we have members who have never been members of NR all the same. Perhaps there is some confusion with some people who left in March 2001 and have recently resurfaced here, such as Marcus Marcius Rex. But said excellent gentleman has never been a member of SVR! And as for those "different names", you must be referring to me. I was once known here as Sextus Apollonius Draco, but I changed my nomen to Marcus Octavius Solaris. What of it?

Diana, if you say things, you have to prove them. What I read is just scandal-mongering without concrete names, clear-cut cases or proven examples. Until a month or so back you were a member of SVR, until you suddenly left. Yet we do not bear you ill will. As far as I know - and as you told me in your resignation notice - you didn't hate us either. You had your own reasons and that was perfectly fine. But why start this invective? Why, for Iuppiter's sake, do you bring up events and affairs you only have a fragmentary and distorted knowledge of? If you were unhappy in SVR, you could have discussed it with us, instead of pointlessly venting your grief here and blackening our reputation as an organisation for everyone in NR.

And then, you say this, to finish it off: << and to being cultural, take a look at the Belgica meeting photos where the highest magistrates are dressed in sheets and making faces at the camera. Jeez... http://home.tiscali.be/mauk.haemers/personal/personal.htm >>

Well, sometimes people do things *just for fun* you know? Oh, but you get that allright. You don't mention our philosophical symposia, our staged trial of Cicero, our biographies of writers, our Latin study tips, our vast body of information on ancient religions, our travel report to Greece and the Provincia Romana and our many respectful discussions. Oh yes, and you criticise our cultural level by a non-argument while you addressed me in the nominative case. I mean, is this your *only* argument to discredit our reputation? That three of us dressed up and sang some songs together? How much lower can you go?

I can't believe you openly stab me in my back like this.

Valete bene;

It was not I who resurrected the subject of last year's vetoes; it was
a member of your gens and your political faction who brought them up
for no apparent reason, even though they had no relevance to the
ongoing debate.


Sulla: My friends and gens members can bring up any discussion they so desire.
When attacked here, I must defend myself, and I will do so by telling
the truth.


Sulla: Again, you are starting to cross the line, Censor.

> needed. Your and my discussion that occurred on June 14 was fully

Meanwhile, I was asking repeatedly to see it, and you repeatedly refused.
You imagined yourself to be Consul without colleague; you chose to go
around me rather than cooperate. Our relations had been good up to that
point.


Sulla: Of course you asked to see it on our last email on June 14...and my response was that the law was NOT completed but that our agreement would defiantely be in the text which it was added. I even forwarded it to my consul_sulla_staff list.

You knew that this was a subject that I was deeply concerned with, for
we had spent an entire day negotiating what was to have been the proposed
Lex Cornelia Senatoria. After we had come to an agreement (or so I
thought, for I did not know you were acting in bad faith at that time)
you ignored my repeated requests to see the final text; then called for
a Contio with a proposal that contained considerably more than what we
had agreed upon.


Sulla: Of course I knew it was a subject you were deeply concerned with. I was too which is why I drafted the Lex Senatoria to begin with. I felt that after the high handed actions of our Censors in removing members of the board of directors with no cause and no empowering legislation was a far dangerous precedent. As I have stated above the agreement that you and I made was honored and written into the law. But the law itself was not completed til June 18th a full four (4) days after our discussion.

Did you *really* think you could get away with it? After we had spent
an entire day negotiating just how much the Censores powers could be
altered, did you really think that I would sit idly by while you went
far beyond what we had agreed upon?


Sulla: Get away with what? Promulgating a law that would protect the board of directors from the machinations and political motivations of the Censors? Yes, I thought it was a well reasoned and a law that highlighted common sense, especially after the events that transpired earlier last year.

Did you really think that I wouldn't object to your ham-handed attempts
to disempower the Censores?


Sulla: I thought you would have read the law on the ML with the rest of the citizens and voice your opinion of the law. At worst that is a political mistake, not an ethical one. There is a big difference there. And now Nova Roma suffers from the lack of that law. On top of that I am expecting you to try to remove members of the boni faction from the Senate. We shall see in the coming two years.

You were not acting in "good faith". By attempting to get around me,
by withholding information in spite of repeated requests, you declared
war on your fellow consul, without provocation, and I responded
appropriately.


Sulla: I see, this clears up your actions after this political error. Your motiviation to promulgate the Lex Octavia Salica and your attempts at Gens reform were designed to get back at your fellow consul because you felt I declared war on you? Now it all starts coming together. Your actions were all poltically motiviated. Thank you for declaring that to the entire People of Nova Roma.

Vale,

Subject: Glass Houses
Senator Sulla;

I am somewhat at loss to determine why my name has been drug into this
argument between yourself and Senator Octavius. I have no idea what
transpired between you during your private discussions while you served
as Consuls. Further it is none of my business. However, if I compare
the actions of you both in the past on this net, and in this
micronation, I find an overwhelming amount of evidence that indicates
that my agreement should follow along the lines of Senator Octavius
rather than yourself. This I have stated previously, and clearly so no
one can misake my views as a Senator and a previous Magistrate serving
the Citizens of NR.

I do not live in a glass house, and with friends and colleagues like
yourself I could not afford to.

I have made no secret of my disapproval of some of your antics, which
you tend to take out of context, in your responses. The one comment in
your latest hysterical diatribe, I do agree with, and that is your
comment about my good friend Senator Octavius. I am pleased to call him
friend, and to recognize his tremendous contributions to Nova Roma. He
has recieved praise from nearly all well-meaning Magistrates and
Citizens in Nova Roma save for perhaps a few souls who for some unknown
reason cling to you and your often strange actions on ths list and in
NR. However, that too is none of my business, and I make no attempt to
fathom such.

I have often privately spoken to you, about these breaches, but to no
avail, as I believe firmly that were you to gain a larger measure of
maturity, we could be good friends as with those others in NR, with whom
I share the very valuable friendship bond. You have a great deal to
give to Nova Roma, and no one realizes that more than I. I have tried
thrice to heal our breach, and your response has been either to ignore
me, or to flash out with something so stupid and so disrupting that I am
forced to make comment as a former Magistrate. However, I have chosen
to withdraw from a Magistry in order to devote more time to other
elements in NR, and within days of that withdrawal, you again choose to
drag my name into an argument where I have no input. Our latest
personal contact was a Chrstmas greeting in which you expressed the hope
that we could at least present our arguments in dignified language.
However, you now drag my name into an argument, between yourself and a
friend of mine where I have no knowledge of the background except to
review the final result, which I agreed with and which I applaud, and
which many of those Honored Senatorial Colleagues agree.

As I have indicated, I stand ready at any occasion to make common cause
with you, and heal our breach. We do not have to agree, but simply to
agree to disagree. There are many things that we agree upon, but your
constant argument, attacks and wild far-flung accusations and sometime
hysterical actions, make such common-cause difficult.

I should not have made the above comments, without your insulting and
unwelcome reference to me in an area where I had little interest and
less involvement.

In closing, I ask please that you too would have a care as to what you
say on this net, who you drag into your unceasing arguments, and who you
accuse of improper actions. As I said, I should like very much to have
the privaledge of living in a "glass house" but I must first make sure
of some sort of lasting truce with those who choose to use my name and
my person irresponsibly.

A two year absence without any communciation with the Senate at all is not
sufficient cause?

Your proposed lex did not attempt to modify the Lex Octavia Senatoria by
which the two delinquent Senatores would eventually be removed. It
addressed other issues entirely.

If the Censores are "high handed" it is because they are SENIOR MAGISTRATES,
elected by the People. They have as much authority as the Consuls, but in
a limited area. Why are you so obsessed with limiting and controlling the
Censores but have never tried to limit the Consuls?

How many laws did you pass last year to protect us from Consuls?

> But the law itself was not completed til June 18th a full four (4)
> days after our discussion.

And you still couldn't send it to me at least a few hours before calling
for a vote on it? There were multiple problems with that lex - not only
were parts of it objectionable (to me), but much of it was vague and
logically flawed.

For instance, you wrote that a Nota shall be temporary, but give no guidelines
toward duration or ending the Nota. Thus, the Censores could proclaim a Nota
lasting 99 years - and there was nothing in the law about how to end that
Nota, or stating that the Senate might adjust it.

Setting aside for the moment whether your goals were worthy - this was a
bad, bad law. The logic and grammar were wretched.

> Sulla: Get away with what?

"Get away with" slipping a law past me that you knew I would object to, and,
of leading me to think that "Lex Cornelia Senatoria" meant "A", when actually
it meant "A, B, and C".

> Promulgating a law that would protect the board of directors from the
> machinations and political motivations of the Censors?

But what protects the Censores from the machinations and political
motivations of a Consul?

> Sulla: I thought you would have read the law on the ML with the rest of
> the citizens and voice your opinion of the law.

Does the Vice-President of the United States learn about new legislation
from the evening news?

Up until that point, we had been operating as a team. All of our proposals
were reviewed by the other, and no request by a Consul to see what the other
Consul was intending to put up for a vote had been denied.

> At worst that is a political mistake, not an ethical one.

In my opinion, it was both.

> And now Nova Roma suffers from the lack of that law.

Nova Roma is better off without that law. The one good thing it had was
the ability for the Senate as a whole to override a Nota - but the language
in that section was so clumsy and vague as to be useless. If you *had* let
me review and comment on it ahead of time, a logically sound version of that
probably would be the law right now.

> On top of that I am expecting you to try to remove members of the boni
> faction from the Senate. We shall see in the coming two years.

Did you not notice that we *added* a member of the "boni" to the
Senate last month? How does that fit into your conspiracy theories?

If any Notae are to be issued in the next two years, it will be done only
after evidence of specific acts of wrongdoing (occurring during these next
two years) has been presented by multiple credible witnesses, or has been
determined by a court.

I hereby swear, by all the Gods of Rome, that I will never use a Nota
for the purpose of silencing an adversary.

> Your motiviation to promulgate the Lex Octavia Salica and your attempts at
> Gens reform were designed to get back at your fellow consul

Wrong. That was a good and necessary law. And, even though you yourself
are now out of office and irrelevant, the edict will be renewed this year.

The deeper gens reform was later discussed only because some of your allies
had claimed the Lex Octavia Salicia was "unhistorical". As it turned out,
you didn't want a historical solution either - the cries of "unhistorical"
were merely a tactic to buy time and derail the original proposal.

> Your actions were all poltically motiviated.

And what of your actions in June? You didn't like the decisions of the
Censores earlier in the year, so you set out to punish them by severely
curtailing their power - and, knowing that your colleague had supported
the Censores then, you withheld information from me.

> Thank you for declaring that to the entire People of Nova Roma.

I have declared nothing of the sort. The People of Nova Roma will
not be fooled by your lies and misrepresentation.

Vale, Octavius.

Ad Moraviam Aventinam: And since we want to get on the topic of having dual names, if anything I left the SVR and came back, rather
than NR. Does that make me a bad citizen of the SVR (Solaris would know me as the infamous inactive princeps gentis of the gens
Tullia)? Or a bad citizen of NR? Would it make you happy to see my resignation from both, so that you could pronounce me as a bad
citizen? You can do that without my resignation, because you'll never get it.

Very much agreed, Solaris.

me). For those who are interested, and care to use the material and the opportunity, the SVR is a repository of cultural and
historical knowledge. That's why I'm there. I must now agree with Solaris. Why discredit a reputation because a few people had fun
(harmless to anyone or anything)? I have the same question as Solaris: How much lower can this go?

In closing, I would like to ask you, Diana Moravia, where is all this coming from? Honestly, if you are so angry with the SVR, or
dislike it that much, why vent it to people who have been seperating the two? SVR and NR are two different organizations. Why try to
link the two with hatred for each other when there is really no need for it?

Why on the gods green earth must we listen to this dung by deserters from
Nova Roma?

Fact one: You did not like the political climate here. You took it upon
yourself to launch vendettas against several gens that did not agree with
your views. Your leader in his manifesto made it very clear that he wished
the current constitution eliminated and a new one written more favorable to
his views. Your excuse? Oppressive rules, and lack of Roman culture being
imitated.

Fact two: When you did not get your way after a failure in a pivotal Senate
vote, you all left, making theatrical resignation speeches about how you go
to a better place, and how everybody who didn't like it here could go with
you. So twice you tried to break up Nova Roma, once covertly, once overtly.
You must have been very disappointed when the bulk of the "sheep" didn't
follow your lead. The point is you deserted Nova Roma and left your
treasured citizenship. This is something Romans never do.

Fact three. By your own admission you hold a dual citizenship. That's OK if
we are just clubs. But we are by our own declaration, a nation. A nation
depends on the loyalty of its citizens to maintain its strength. You
attempted to topple this nation. The fact that it was all fun & games to you
guys makes no difference to me, or Roman Law.
An analogy would be if you robbed a bank as a lark, and then gave the money
back when you were caught. Doesn't matter. You are still going to jail.

If you want to be a magistrate here you will have to resign your
"citizenship" in SVR as D. Moravia did. That way there is no conflict of
interests. The fact you still hold two citizenships makes me wonder where
your true loyalty lies.

I too received the AD spam and I do not have a Yahoo email account.
A "spider" could have scoured the Nova Roma website and uncovered the

happening. Another possibility is a spider trolling through Yahoo
picking up our email addy's as well. If it is a citizen that is

Marcus Octavius Solaris Quiritibus Novae Romae et Quinto Fabio Maximo SPD,



TO QUINTUS FABIUS

Quinte Fabi, appearently, you cannot handle reality.

You continually keep misrepresenting facts (see below). Either your memory works incorrectly (which, for a historian, would be a severe handicap) or you are acting from malice. Once more we see coming from you pompous, absurd rhetorics with no end. Let's see how good it can handle reality.

<< Why on the gods green earth must we listen to this dung by deserters from Nova Roma? >>

MOS: Then don't. Your keyboard has a delete button.

<< Fact one: You did not like the political climate here. You took it upon yourself to launch vendettas against several gens that did not agree with your views. >>

MOS: You are talking about *one* gens, gens Cornelia. I had serious arguments with some Cornelii, but I never launched anything like a vendetta (let alone vendettas). Unless you can offer me proof, black on white, you are grossly distorting reality here. In fact I have pretty good relations with, for instance, Pompeia Cornelia. As she will testify.

<< Your leader in his manifesto made it very clear that he wished the current constitution eliminated and a new one written more favorable to his views. Your excuse? Oppressive rules, and lack of Roman culture being imitated. >>

MOS: We had no leader. We did not want the constitution to be eliminated. Take a look at this: http://www.novaroma.org/forum/mainlist/2000/2000-11-22.html#M0015. The "leader" you are talking about was *one* extremely complicated and controversial personality which we ourselves had problems with (in spite of his honesty and intelligence), namely Marcus Apollonius Formosanus. He also left SVR, which is not a surprise.

<< Fact two: When you did not get your way after a failure in a pivotal Senate vote, you all left, making theatrical resignation speeches about how you go to a better place, and how everybody who didn't like it here could go with you. >>

MOS: Once again your memory appears to be failing you. You confuse THREE seperate instances. The failure of the Senate vote (my post-election approval as Aedilis Plebis) you speak of was in January 2001 (http://www.novaroma.org/forum/mainlist/2001/2001-01-01.html#M0015).The "theatrical resignation" you speak of was three months later, in March(http://www.novaroma.org/forum/mainlist/2001/index03-15.html and following days) and the "speeches of a better place" were made by those who remained and left in December (http://www.novaroma.org/forum/mainlist/2001/index12-15.html and days in that area).

<< So twice you tried to break up Nova Roma, once covertly, once overtly. >>

MOS: Documentary proof required.

<< You must have been very disappointed when the bulk of the "sheep" didn't follow your lead. The point is you deserted Nova Roma and left your treasured citizenship. This is something Romans never do. >>

MOS: They couldn't do it, unless by death or exile. It had too many advantages. You draw false historical comparisons to justify your position.

<< Fact three. By your own admission you hold a dual citizenship. That's OK if we are just clubs. But we are by our own declaration, a nation. A nation depends on the loyalty of its citizens to maintain its strength. You attempted to topple this nation. The fact that it was all fun & games to you guys makes no difference to me, or Roman Law.An analogy would be if you robbed a bank as a lark, and then gave the money back when you were caught. Doesn't matter. You are still going to jail. >>

MOS: SVR is not a micronation and you have no speck of evidence for your other accusations. And in case you were unaware of it, in the real world dual citizenship does exist and no one minds. Wake up and smell the coffee: we live in the 21st century!

<< If you want to be a magistrate here you will have to resign your "citizenship" in SVR as D. Moravia did. That way there is no conflict of interests. The fact you still hold two citizenships makes me wonder where your true loyalty lies. >>

MOS: I don't want to be a magistrate. Where did I say that? And in order to avoid "conflict of interest" I did not take up my position as elected Aedilis Plebis in January 2002 but instead retracted. Besides, following your twisted logic, this means that Ti. Apollonius Cicatrix and M. Scribonius Curio should resign, or that M. Arminius Maior should have resigned, or Cl. Salix Davianus (all four are or have been in our Senate). One can be involved in both places. Only you would brand such hard-working, honest and intelligent people as "traitors".

Honorable Maximus

I came back to the Forum just to say a few words.

It seems very "loyable" from you to affirm that being a SVR member is
going against Nova Roman Laws, but maybe you forget a fact (perhaps
one that on your strong hate on SVR memberships you forgot) that is
quite important.
Fact Four: It maybe could have been more intelligent, but any
judgement must be done by each citizen. The fact four is: why fight
a "club" or a "nation" or a "asociation" instead of asking ourselves
WHY they leave and HOW could we get them back?
Maybe Honorable Maximus desires "purity" on any novarroman citizen.
Perhaps he understands "purity" as the high standards of morality he
told us about a few weeks before. Could it be that he can't just
negotiate to rejoin this people who, maybe, are just trying to do
exactly the same as us but on antoher way. Could it be that asking
SVR members why the left NR we could learn a little about our
politics.
One of my goals in Hispania this year as Legatus Externis is to
conect any organization related to Roman world and join them all in
Nova Roma Hispania. But I can't do that if we can't offer them a
proper Nova Roma Organization. What do I mean? Maybe that working
together with all the people that is trying to do the same can be a
benefit more than a harm.
You see a conflict of interest. I see a chance to get a bridge with
SVR and other organizations. But of course, to negotiate and make
truth the rephrane "Pax, Concordia, Felicitas" is not yours, as I
hear from you and some others. A pity, because we'll loose citizens
and gain nothing for our "purity".
A bridge or a harm? That is my question.

POMPEIA: With respect, Q. Fabi,I think you are being rather harsh.
There are those who joined the SVR perhaps by virtue of stumbling on
the website and thought it was a great venue, nothing more. I find
it difficult to believe that the entire SVR population is there
mearly to grind an axe with Nova Roma. Unless you have information
to the affect that they are indeed 'all' there for said purpose.

POMPEIA: Quinte Fabi, would you mind showing me in our laws in Nova
Roma where NR citizens cannot hold magistracies both here and the SVR?

We have had several examples this past year of those who held
positions both here and the SVR. We have seen some very positive
participation and outcomes for Nova Roma from persons you see as
militant NR protestees.

The Consul of the SVR 2755, Tiberius Apollonius Cicatrix and his
Plebian Aedile staff, did an exemplary job in organizing and staging
Ludi in honour of Apollo and the Plebian People.

The other Plebian Aedile, Marcus Scribonius Britannicus Curio held a
ludi also, and sorry, I can't remember much about that one.....think
I was working a much.

Two of the Tribs of last year were members of the SVR.

So no, Postumi, nor any other NR citizen does not legally 'owe' a
resignation from the SVR to run for office here.

And as much as we would like to think we have it all together, some
respectfully disagree, and would prefer a different venue. No one
list, organization, micronation or 'club' has a license to celebrate
Romanitas.

Please try not to be so harsh with these people. All members of the
SVR are not clones of political NR opponents.

Subject: Nova Roma Reading Club?
Salvete,

Has anyone in NR ever suggested creating a book discussion list along
the lines of a reading club? The members could take turns selecting a
Classical themed book (Roman or Greek literature, historical/scholarly
text, or historical fiction), set up a schedule (so many chapters or
pages a week) to keep everyone more or less in synch, and then discuss
the past weeks reading on the list. It seems to me that it would be an
excellent social and learning experience. Also, if individuals purchased
their books from Amazon.com (through Nova Roma's referral system) on
occasion, it would even help generate some revenue for the treasury.

Would anyone else be interested in doing something like this? Or is
anyone already doing it, and I've just missed the boat?

I had to look up 'invective' in the dictionary: violent and verbal

that referring to my email as invective is a bit too strong.

Huh? Me, low? I think that your email, which had a number of comments
directed specifically to me, was much more 'invective' and 'low' than my
general opinion about the SVR, which was not directed at you or anyone else
here. It was just that: my opinion.

LOL ! Prove what, pray tell? Is it now in the constitution of Nova Roma that
if I say something about ANOTHER group I have to provide proof ? You again
act as if I attacked you and the other people listed in your email. YOU are
the one who started name dropping, not me.... And YOU are the one who gave
names to the young men in the sheets, not me. I gave my opinion based on
things verbally said to me or written in emails. But maybe you want me to
'prove' who said what so that you can give them Hell in the SVR for wanting
to return to NR? In any case, you won't get that info from me.

< I can't believe you openly stab me in my back like this.
Huh?? Sorry that you feel that way. Again, you are taking this as a personal
attack and it wasn't.
If you were not one of the leaders of the SVR, and had not also placed
yourself in a 'rival' group, you would have never reacted in such an
obviously oversensitive manner to my email. But having placed yourself in
this position, you have to realize that when you have your own group, there
will always be people who find fault with it. Get used to it, or you will
find yourself wasting many hours sending long defensive emails and only
succeeding in making yourself upset.

I regret to correct illustra Pompeia Cornelia, but AncientDomains is
most definitely NOT the resurrection of AncientSites, which I was and
am now once again involved in resurrecting.

www.ancientworlds.net was founded by one of the co-creators of the
online mystery game SPQR and AncientSites, and we do not resort to e-
mailings of this type. The founder purchased the database and
graphics from the defunct CyberSites, and we have mailed to that list
only.

There have been several sites created devoted to ancient history in
the past two years, but only AncientWorlds has any direct connection
with the founders' vision which created AncientSites.

Gratias for the opportunity to clarify,

My husband Mark is reading a Roman mystery novel set

who is vasstly disliked, and the detective-type person
is a young patrician man in Caesar's employ. I had to
giggle at the following paraphrased exchange that Mark
read to me:

Det.: "Centurion so and so is dead? Wow! I'll

Caesar: "Be serious. This is bad for morale."

Det.: "With respect, sir, I think this will do
WONDERS for morale..."

Salve mi optima amica Po
I was a member of Ancientsites and now it resurrected as
Ancientworlds, not Ancient Domains. I am a member of Ancientworlds
because as I stated above I belonged to Ancientsites. Anyway the
email address I use at Ancientsites/Ancientworlds have nothing to do
with the email address where I received the spam.
So I think it is not related to Ancientsites (I suppose).
Besides, the staff of Ancientsites/Ancientworlds always send me an
official email whenever thay have an update or news to communicate.
I hope somebody could discover who sent that spam!

Subject: [Nova-Roma] Nobody Loves a Centurion (g)


Being uninvolved in the debate over SVR, I thought I'd
provide a dash of humor into the bubbling brew.

My husband Mark is reading a Roman mystery novel set
during the time of Julius Caesar when he was
Proconsul. The victim of the murder is a centurion
who is vasstly disliked, and the detective-type person
is a young patrician man in Caesar's employ. I had to
giggle at the following paraphrased exchange that Mark
read to me:

Det.: "Centurion so and so is dead? Wow! I'll
gladly give money for his funeral, but we'll have a
hard time finding professional mourners, way out
here."

Caesar: "Be serious. This is bad for morale."

Det.: "With respect, sir, I think this will do
WONDERS for morale..."

(snicker) I think I must read this book.

Salvete,

Has anyone in NR ever suggested creating a book discussion list along
the lines of a reading club? The members could take turns selecting a
Classical themed book (Roman or Greek literature, historical/scholarly
text, or historical fiction), set up a schedule (so many chapters or
pages a week) to keep everyone more or less in synch, and then discuss
the past weeks reading on the list. It seems to me that it would be an
excellent social and learning experience. Also, if individuals purchased
their books from Amazon.com (through Nova Roma's referral system) on
occasion, it would even help generate some revenue for the treasury.

Would anyone else be interested in doing something like this? Or is
anyone already doing it, and I've just missed the boat?

Valete,

Subject: Re: Ruins of ancient Roman tower found
I'm not sure what I fight for in Nova Roma, or what my professional status is, if any. I liken myself to the 5th Century Roman nobleman, Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. Cincinnatus was the world's first strategic consultant. In 458 B.C. Rome was in deep trouble. An enemy army was at its gate -- an enemy who had new weapons and new offensive tactics. Cincinnatus, who had retired to a small farm, was called in by the Senate to command Rome's army. Cincinnatus left his farm, led Rome's army to victory -- then returned to his plow.

Salvete,

Has anyone in NR ever suggested creating a book discussion list along
the lines of a reading club? The members could take turns selecting a
Classical themed book (Roman or Greek literature, historical/scholarly
text, or historical fiction), set up a schedule (so many chapters or
pages a week) to keep everyone more or less in synch, and then discuss
the past weeks reading on the list. It seems to me that it would be an
excellent social and learning experience. Also, if individuals purchased
their books from Amazon.com (through Nova Roma's referral system) on
occasion, it would even help generate some revenue for the treasury.

Would anyone else be interested in doing something like this? Or is
anyone already doing it, and I've just missed the boat?

There are several ways that a Spammer could get

subscribed to it and got the addresses from the

the people who have mentioned getting spammed are all

Subject: Re: Ruins of ancient Roman tower found
Salve Gaius Basilicatus Agricola,

You could do worse than model your self after Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. I have always loved his story and I feel Rome's decline started the moment he became the exception and not the rule of civic behavior. have you ever read a book called
Cincinnatus: George Washington and the Enlightenment. If not, PLEASE read it!!! It is by Garry Wills. In the final pages of the book he says"

" It has been said that Washington was the last of the classical heroes as Napoleon was the first of the romantic heroes... The contrast is not so much between two eras as between two conceptions of the morality of power. And it was, after all, a romantic poet, Lord Byron, who ended his Ode to Napoleon this way"

There was a day-there was an hour
while earth was Gaul's-Gaul thine-
When that immeasurable power
Unstated to resign
had been an act of purer fame
Than gathers round Marengo's name,
and gilded thy decline
Through the long twilight of all time
Despite some passing clouds of crime.

But thou forsooth must be a King,
and don the purple vest
As if that foolish robe could wring,
Remembrance from thy breast.
Where is that faded garment? where
The gewgaws thou wert fond to wear,
The star-the string- the crest?
Vain froward child of empire! say,
Are all thy playthings snatch'd away?

Where may the wearied eye repose
When gazing on the Great:
Where neither guilty glory glows,
nor despicable state?
Yes-one-the first-the last-the-best:
The Cincinnatus of the West
Whom envy dared not hate.
Bequeath'd the name of WASHINGTON
TO MAKE MEN BLUSH THERE WAS BUT ONE

We should also remember that at one time in his career Napoleon yell at some one,
"What did the expect me to be, another Washington".

Vale

I'm quite sure they didn't get my yahoo address that way.
As you may recall, Po, I created the yahoo account solely for
use on this mailing list. The only way that anybody would see
it would be to somehow have access to Nova-Roma.

It's perhaps *as* significant that I did not get the spam at
the address I use for all other NR related mailing lists.

At any rate, I was not making excuses for Ancient Domains, I was only
trying to be helpful. It would seem that someone is a marketing addies.

I gave up my list moderation rights after the Agorius Religous

Actually I enjoyed it. And I rarely enjoy pulp historical novels. The pros

However it was true. No one really liked a Centurion. We read of that

Ah, but such significance has to have redeeming value. You don't come into
someone else's house and start redecorating without their permission. This
project started as a political support to a state religion. As such it is an
interesting experiment in poly-sci in regards to history. And while the
politicastry was blunt it was never uncoth.

Our boy from Belgium makes several points in his rebuttal about the SVR.
However methinks he doth protests too much.
First off he believes that I'm singling him out for the creation of SVR.
Nope. "You" referred to the people that left NR to start it in the first
place since the majority here disagreed with their view. However, he was one
of them, though he came back inside before the nine days when his resignation
would have been accepted. Brave lad...
P. Cornelia takes me to task saying that not all SVR members are NR bashers
and actually some have good views. I'm sure that is true. The odds say that
some in the SVR are people with no ax to grind, while being knowledgeable
about Rome. I'm sure the SVR has done great things to advance Romanitas.
However the state's main exhibit is that there was a political movement that
stated that certain members of Nova Roma had to be suppressed for the good of
the people. That the people should have the vote, as individuals and not
blocs. That Senators had to elected, rather than appointed. Solarius, by
his own admission, said he was never involved in such things, but some of his
best friends were. It's public record.
As for S claim that I have to show proof, about these alleged trangressions,
I have say the speeches and the reason for them are public record, and not
one of these people who left to found the SVR are in NR today. Their last
card was an attempt to get the population to join them and forsake NR, which
they called "oppressive." And again those speeches are public record.
However the people were not fooled and these malcontents went off and founded
their own organization. And we the people thought we were rid of them.
So now some bleet about having the right to have a double citizenship. This
makes sense in Europe since the countries are tiny and right next to one
another. However, I daresay magistrates in any of these do not retain a
citizenship in another. To do so would make no sense at all. After all,
where would your loyalties lie?
So again I say, double, triple citizenships are fine until it comes to
magistracy in NR. At that point the person should have to make a choice.
So in closing I have to say, I'd hope that people here would put NR's welfare
first. It would be the Roman thing to do.

Once again we talk about SVR and NR in terms that should not be used. The people I know
from both organisations are really good ones and I could call them my friends. Please
remind that SVR and NR have much in common, the Romanitas, and that we are all working
for it. Should SVR and NR fight instead of cooperate and both organisations will suffer.
Diana and Solaris, you are as well citizens of Gallia. As such, I ask you to talk to me
privately in order to come back to some more positive relationship. We all need
quietness, confidence and friendship to achieve our goals.

Subject: Re: SVR - An objective response
From F. Galerius Aurelianus Secundus to all concerned. Salvete.

For the love of the Gods, what does all this matter? Having been a historical reenactor and member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. for over 25 years, I can state that the term "politics" in such groups merely translates as "differing opinions about how goals and plans should be implemented based on personal viewpoints and opinions." In historical reenactment, the goals are education, history, heritage, and fun. To a progressive or campaigner, this means authentic uniforms, equipment, "first person presentation", and doing all the tasks & duties of a Civil War soldier or civilian. To a mainstreamer, it means reasonable attempts at uniform and equipment, battles, historical demonstrations, etc.
To a farb, it means something different (having never been a farb I really don't know what).
In the SCA (37 years old now), some splinter groups want more authenticity; others want a closed historical period (Norselanders, Kingdom of Acre, Normans of the Sun); others want more fantasy (Marklander, Rangers, Vampires).
The important thing to remember is that all these groups have a common heritage and goal. They can agree to disagree and can have fun together at certain events--Pennsics for the SCA and 140th Anniversary Battle of Gettysburg for ACW--without eviscerating one another.
I know next to nothing about SVR and have no interest in such a group. My attention for micronationality are focused on NR. I also don't have interest in Ancient Sites or other such groups because it just doesn't matter to me but I have no ill feelings about it or them. Let Nova Romans devote themselves to growth and setting a fine example of the Virtues. If we are the shining example of Rome Reborn on the net, then those with intelligence, humility, piety, and dignity will know it by our works and deeds. They will see that ours is a group worth their time and service. Those that are disaffected may return but if not it doesn't matter. We are Nova Romans and that is a worthy thing to be!

< privately in order to come back to some more positive relationship.

I really think that it is very sweet that you have volunteered to arbitrate
in this matter! Even though Solaris has publicly and directly verbally
attacked me, I am certainly not even slightly angry. Even when I disagree
with Solaris, I like him: a few emails wouldn't change that. However, if
Solaris wishes you to intervene, no problem for me. I will do whatever you
wish to make peace in Gallia.

I do not take back what I said about the SVR, because I did not lie when I
repeated what several SVR members have said to me. And I say again that my
email was not at all an attack on Solaris and I was pretty surprised at his
reaction. That said, whether I understand it or not, my email did make
Marcus Octavius Solaris upset and I am sorry. So in the spirit of peace and
friendship I offer this olive branch:

Solaris : Please accept my apology. I really didn't mean to make you upset.
I also apologize to anyone mentioned in Solaris' email in case they, like
Solaris, felt that my email referred to them. I also wish to publicly
apologize (as I did offlist last night) to Spurius Postumius Tubertus, for
my sarcastic comments about his age. I also apologize to anyone who was
upset by my 3 emails sent yesterday that referred to this subject.

If I've missed anyone, please let me know!

In any case, just to explain myself: I really love people but I do have very
much a Sicilian temper: I get annoyed, I speak my mind and then I forget it
about it. I hope that anyone annoyed at me over this has the same character

consideration of the fact that he was too much anti-Nova Roma for even
those of the organization which he founded, and that they had trouble in
"harnessing him in" as well, is a strong consideration for such a view.
There are several other aspects of his nature and comments which also
lead me to that conclusion, so I agree that Nova Roma is well rid of
such, and considering the words recently on the list perhaps those
members of SVR might feel some portion of the same relief.

The gentemen whom you name are to my knowledge young men of honor (not
boys) and whom I do not doubt the truthfullness of in thier objections
to your comments. They have all served Nova Roma well, and faithfully,
and I applaud them for that effort, just as much as I applaud you for
your efforts.

If I remember correctly, it was you who invited Appollonius to rejoin
Nova Roma after his first resignation. This was something I could not
understand until you revealed your reasoning behind the invitation.
Areasonig with which I personnally cannot agree, but which I understand
has served you in relation to it's integrity.

I belong to several organizations in which I have served as President
and Vice-Preident over the years, and still serve in most as a Board
Member. I have a Citizenship in the U.S. and have served as an Officer
in the Military of that country, and currently serve in a Magisterial
position in the service of the town in which I live. However, I trust
that such activities have not given the impression that I am any less
devoted to Nova Roma, than if I belonged to no other organization at
all.

I can well understand your suspicians of the man formerly known as
Appollonius, as I too in personal discussions with him ascertained his
unwelcome plans for NR and for certain Citizens threof. H however, I
must join others in cautioning you to have a care in what you say in
accusation here. You have made the same cautions to me in the past in
regard to certain individuals, and I would respond that your answer will
serve as a good response in this area as well "the evidence is included
in the archives of this net, or associated with this net" as well as in
the desires of the people who have left Nova Roma having no desire to
continue to associate with people whom they saw to be less than honest
and forthright, or whom they saw as a possible threat to thier integrity
in the eyes of thier sponsors or superiors. Now I am sure that you will
pooh-pooh this last, but in at least two such resignations this was
mentioned as a concern. and from my military experience as a Securrity
Officer, I can tell you that questionable alliances or friendships are
significantly considered in the applications for security positions or
for high level corporate positions where such aquaintance might possibly
come back to "haunt" the base organization. In any case most of those
who have left NR have responded to my question of why, with the response
that there were two or three people of such low integrity that they no
longer wished to be involved with them or an organization which
supported them. The fact that these accused "low integrity" people were
in a significant political office, only magnified the desire to leave.
Such were the cmments of those who responded.

I know that there are some here in Nova Roma who will never condone or
excuse a resignation from NR. However, I also know that many citizens
or ptential citizens are not willing to put up with a great deal of
insult and political wrangling unless there is something which also
fulfills thier individual needs. I personnally am aquainted with
several such people, whose integrity and outside participation is
exemplary, Even the Oath of Office is not proof against personal insult
or attack, real or imagined. Perhaps it is those needs which we should
concentrate upon rather than our political discussions, and our
extensive overuse of the list for the purposes of political discussion
and argument. I have been roundly criticized for such thoughts, as
though I did not know the value of this net as a political field of
discussion, however, I do not see it as necessary to use it as the basis
of namecalling, or insult, or a very large percentage of political
discussion, without relief. However, it is the fault of every person,
myself included, who makes a response to a political question, since
everyone feels that thier views are valuable to the furtherence of NR,
or that thier self-justificaions are needed and wanted, or that thier
personal arguments are of interest to others. I would very much like to
see a net where at least 50% of the messages are cultual, and not
political or argumentative. I would very much like to also see a net
where personal arguments over past concerns are regulated to a list
where only the interested are visited with these painful activities. I
understand about the "Delete" button, but a list where more than 50% or
so of the list is such material, it's a lot easier to delete the weblist
than to delete 50 or 100 such E-Mails, for those not yet totally devoted
to the ideals of NR.

However, I have noticed that when some citizens introduce cultural items
on this net, that very little response is generated whereas arguments
and political topics generate a seemingly never-ending set of responses
and counter-responses many of which contain personal attacks for no
verifiable reason.

I strongly feel that the above two items are the main reasons for those
who leave Nova Roma in disgust and in the dashed hopes of learning
anything of value regarding Rome that "meets the individual needs" of
the Citizens of Nova Roma. My feelings in that area are bolstered by
the many comments of those who have left NR, in responses to my
questions why.

I do not wish to fight with you, but I would ask that you recognize the
honesty of all NR Citizens until either you (or they) prove themselves
no longer unworthy of that trust, by word or deed or both, and that you
would honestly recognize these Citizens and Magistrates for what they
have given to Nova Roma, and on the basis of past service, what they are
capable of in the future.

Further, many of these gentlemen have served the Senior Consul
Quintillianus in the past, and are now his colleagues for the coming
year. Since I am well aquainted with the Senior Consul, (much as I am
aquainted with you), I am convinced that these gentlemen are
straghtforwad, honest, hardworking gentlemen who are just as interested
in the success of Nova Roma as either you or I. Were it not so, such a
breach of behavior would have been shared with me long ago. Of the two
of us, the Senior Consul and I, it would appear that I am much the more
suspicious, of the two, and I am pleased to applaud those who have done
so much for Nova Roma, whether they be members of SVR or not.

Respectfully;

I have been given to understand that there will also be an event in

Sextus Apollonius is correct. Any organization that works to increase
knowledge and appreciation of ancient Rome should rightly be regarded
as a friend and ally of Nova Roma. I wish them well, and hope that we
may find common ground to work together on projects such as Roman
events, publications, and public-service efforts. Our enemies are
apathy and ignorance, and I suggest we turn our attention to them.

Indeed. My contention is, however: it's not enough to sequester the

"Nec vero habere virtutem satis est quasi artem aliquam nisi utare;
[...] usus autem eius est maximus civitatis gubernatio." 1)

In the spirit of high Roman politics, I press that our governors be
screened for fluency in language and arts; for only then can we be
governed in the best interest of Rome's rebirth, and not for the sake of
a degenerate simulation.

Any desire to get closer to the spirit of Romanitas is
worth considering, but it also must be borne in mind
that Nova Roma needs to function efficiently as an
organization, as well as to be authentic. I would
respectfully suggest that when the Senate is swamped
by highly competent and active applicants for
Governorships, then it would be worth considering
adding additional criteria for their selection. At the
moment, though, I don't think (though I am not a
Senator, so I don't know for certain) that this is the
position, and it is rather better for citizens in a
given province to have a good Governor who can't speak
Latin than to have no Governor.

This, of course, is merely a personal view: I don't
speak in any official capacity.

Our young Res Publica needs a new praetorian pair; there is much to

has seen a reduction in the number of voters.

This reduction must stop. Please take the minor nuisance to cast a

It is indeed a weakness in our Republic that so few cives exercise
their right (nay, neglect their duty) to vote.

Even if you are not interested in politics, the jobs of the various
Magistrates are important and they can not do them unless they are
duly elected.

My fellow candidate for Praetor is absolutely right. Nova Roma cannot
function if everyone does not do his or her part, and that includes
the obligation to vote. When voting starts at 18:01 Roman Time (12:01
PM EST), Saturday January 11, please take a few minutes to go to the
Cista and cast your vote for the candidate of your choice. Nova Roma
needs your vote, these Praetorian offices must be filled. Vote!

I will look over these two proposals, as was said during their contio
there may be be some changes needed. I will come back to this later.
At the moment priority one is the get two Praetores elected.

What we need to get our Praetores to be elected is that:

ALL QUIRITES VOTE IN THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION!

To get this process done I decided to concentrate on that election as
that only neeeded a contio of 24 hours. The urgency in getting the
Praetores elected also made me decide to accept the price of having
the election periods of the Praetoes and the 8th Quaestor separated,
which will lead to a rather long election period during January.

Subject: A question on voting dates
Salvete,

I have a question regarding the voting dates. It is halfway between a
religio question and a political one, so the Religio list is in cc. In light
of my recent ML posts :-p, for the record, I am not at all *criticizing* the
dates, I just have a practical question because I am in the process of
organizing the run-off election to fill the 2 Tribune seats.

The reason why I am asking is because being very concerned that our Gods
look on our elections favourably, I looked at the calendar for a long time
picking out dates for the next Tribune run-off election. I was under the
impression that the *entire* voting had to take place during dies comitialis
(Citizens may vote on political or criminal matters). And now I see that
this run-off election begins on a nefaustus publicus (Public religious
festivals are celebrated. No legal action or public voting may occur) and
has 2 more in between. And I think it was the same for the last run-off's in
December.

So it is a matter of even if the voting begins or is held during nefastus
publicus, it is fine as long as the auspices are good?

Again, I do not mean any insult to anyone, I am just trying to learn!

Salvete,

In light of the poor turn out for the last run-off elections, might I
suggest that the candidates resend their declarations of candidacy to the
main list? We have a number of new citizens that were accepted in November &
December and it is entirely possible that they have not seen the
declarations when they originally posted in early November. I realize that
citizens can click the link and go to the page listing all of the
declarations, but this way, the declaration comes to the citizens instead of
the citizens needing to go to the declaration.

And maybe some of the people who supported these candidates during the first
2 elections could also jump in to voice their support once more? Maybe this
would generate some enthusiasm!

Ideally, we'd like to do this, but it's difficult. Our voting periods
are much longer than those of our ancestors, and seeking to limit
the voting only to dies comitales would create a lot of delays. I
think that the Consuls wanted to avoid any further delay in filling
the vital office of Praetor, and therefore scheduled the election
as soon as possible.

Last year, I always sought out a voting period where at least half
the days were dies comitales. As long as the voting periods this
year contain such days, we can vote -- on those days -- with a
clear conscience.

Subject: Reconciliation and Final Comments
Salvete omnes Quirites,

I come home again, and I find, much to my pleasant surprise, that the discussion about SVR has taken a few positive turns and was more or less concluded peacefully. Most of what I still intended to say when I left here has now been said by others, so there is no use in repeating it. I'd like to thank M. Minucius Audens for his thoughtful comments and my propraetor, S. Apollonius Scipio, for his spirit of reconcilitation. Allow me to make a few last comments on the whole issue.

Diana Moravia scripsit: "I really think that it is very sweet that you [Scipio] have volunteered to arbitrate in this matter! Even though Solaris has publicly and directly verbally attacked me, I am certainly not even slightly angry. Even when I disagree with Solaris, I like him: a few emails wouldn't change that." -- If you swap names, you get what I have been thinking. A few e-mails from you didn't turn my soul into a fiery ball of hatred.

I must remark here, perhaps, that I don't possess the peaceful calm of Gnaeus Salix or Titus Labienus, Gaius Basilicatus' ability to shoot one-liners or Audens' ability to make coherent, comprehensive speeches. I am who I am, and in serious debates I can be hot-tempered. Unlike you I don't have Sicilian ancestors, but perhaps I can blame a barbarian (Franconian) ancestry ;). That said, apology accepted. I think from this point on we might settle our differences in private. Expect a mail from me later on the day :).

Quintus Fabius, Audens and others have referred to my former paterfamilias in Nova Roma and co-founder of SVR, Marcus Apollonius Formosanus. I have said this a few times to others in private but this time I'd like to make it a public statement; I think Formosanus (aka Silvanius in SVR) was a very intelligent, learned and educated man. But alas a streak of madness possessed his character. Although he would never lie or cheat a person, and we (his friends) agreed with most of his ideals, in the end he became an embarassment to our cause in Nova Roma and violently, suddenly turned on me in SVR because I did not agree with his ideas. The otherwise peaceful and empathic Silvanius called me, his former friend and ally, a "traitor". He, the self-proclaimed rationalist, proved to be our most irrational member and left our organisation at war with the world, but mostly, I fear, at war with himself. I hope I now made it clear to everyone here that I no longer have ties with Formosanus.

I'm pleased to see that Quintus Fabius calls me "our boy from Belgium". Appearently, having run out of arguments to oil his rhetorics machine, he resorts to feeble attempts at insulting me (not that he would *ever* do that, of course!). On a more positive and less sarcastic note, it's good to see that even in spite of his hatred of me and my friends, he too has taken a more moderate stance on the issue. And as for the proof of the supposed complot to "topple the state", the answer "it's on public record" won't do for two reasons. The first one being that I'd like to see hyperlinks or quotes (mentioning date and circumstances), and the second one being that even then, you probably find your "proof" in your interpretation of these e-mails. I'm quite certain that other intrepretations will vastly differ from yours (or mine, for that matter...).

By the way, double citizenship doesn't only exist in Europe. It has nothing to do with the size of countries over here, I believe. I know a person who is American ànd Belgian, for instance, at my college. And even so, NR and SVR can't be compared as latter is a community, not a micronation...

Thank you, Diana, for reminding me of our new citizens. For them, and
for those who do not know me, I will tell you all a little bit about
myself and about why I want to become a praetor.

My name is Gnaeus Salix Astur, and I live in Hispania. I have been
around here for hardly two years now, so I still remember how it is
to be new ;-). I like it here, even if it can get a little stressing
some times.

Last year I was elected tribunus plebis, and I had the privilege to
present to the People a law that established a judicial procedure for
Nova Roma. I did it following a request by a citizen of Italia called
Manius Constantinus Serapio (salve, Constantine!). It was approved by
the Comitia.

But after presenting that lex, I thought: "This is just a beginning.
There is still *much* to do to make Nova Roma a state under the Rule
of Law." And guess who are in charge of judicial duties here in Nova
Roma... Praetores, of course :-).

So I want to be elected praetor because I want to improve Nova Roma's
judicial system. Since we all love the Romans, and since the Romans
loved laws and courts... get the line? :-).

So I hope that you will consider voting for me in these elections. I
promise to do my best to implement a fair and reasonable judicial
system, a system of which we, as Romans, can be proud.

Subject: Palladius, Candidate for Praetor
Salvete Cives Novae Romae,

I am writing you to ask for your vote in the runoff election for
praetor that is about to be held. I need your help to win this
election--every vote counts. This is the second runoff election; it
has been a close race. You the voter have had to make a difficult
decision in this election. Both of the other candidates are honorable
men with fine records of service to Nova Roma. However, I believe I
am the best candidate for the job for several reasons: my experience;
my temperament; and my vision for Nova Roma.

I have been politically involved in Nova Roma since its Founding in
March of 1998. In the intervening years since the Founding, I have
served in many positions including censor, consul and serve still as
senator. I was the first person to hold the office of praetor in Nova
Roma. Now, after a two-year hiatus of holding an elected office, I am
again seeking the office of praetor, where I can use my experience to
improve the position of Praetor and Nova Roma itself. No other
candidate has the length or breadth of service to our Republic that I
do.

My temperament also makes me the best candidate for this position. I
am known by people of all political persuasions to be a reasonable
man, one who does not participate in the personal (and personality
driven) politics so unfortunately common in Nova Roma. I treat
everyone fairly; an essential trait in dealing with the legal cases
that may come before the Praetors. Evenhanded in my dealings, I will
not be provoked to rash action and will not fail to do my duty to
Nova Roma. Part of the job of praetor is to moderate the main email
mailing list. I pledge a light hand as moderator. The main list is
one of the major ways Nova Romans get to know each other as a
community; thus I think as many topics as possible should be
discussed there as long as it is done civilly.

My vision for Nova Roma is to keep us on the path we have followed
since the Founding. That mission is to be an organization that is the
heir to pagan classical Rome, dedicated to restoring Roman culture as
much as practical in the modern world, with only those concessions to
modernity that are absolutely necessary. By staying on that path, we

Salve,

I too went to the site. It's a shame that such a poor site is
dedicated to such a great man of history. Though in my admiration
list I place Cincinnatus as second and Cato the Elder as first. Cato
the Elder did what he believed was right no matter the personal
consequences. It is easy to love Cincinnatus. Its much harder to
love Cato the Elder but one must respect his personal courage and
fortituted even if he did "mellow" in his later years.

Vale,

I agree with what you say. Most people take their histroy about Rome from movies like Quo Vadis and Spartacus, and that other piece of crap with Victor Mature. Those movies portray the Romans as ancient Nazis bent on destroying Christianity. I guess thats what sold back then

Agricola--I visited the guy's webpage. Interesting page on
Cincinnatus. Too bad he has such an uninformed opinion of the
Romannation. He seems to know very little at all about the Republic
and seems to think interms only of the more decadent eras of the
Empire.

I'd have had more respect for him if he'd used a better source than a
fairy-tale - like story by Sen. Byrd. The story in and of itself was
full of holes. Still, I do agree that Cincinnatus was an admirable
man, so at least this guy had that right. (g)
